Our Story
Four years ago while training for the Tri – Season, I remember talking about how much I loved not only racing and training for triathlons, but each aspect and discipline of the race as well. Over the years, I have run 20 marathons, cracked the 2:59:59 mark, swam competitively, fell in love with the bike, and learned to respect it quickly. As a Type A individual, the drive to perform better, run harder, and succeed at a feat that shouldn’t be possible was always at the back of my mind. Nothing is better than the quest for the ultimate experience: to become an Ironman. There are so many aspects of the preparation and training for an Ironman. The physical, as well as the mental aspect, is one that is not learned over night. When completing only one, or for those who are lucky enough to go to Kona and compete in two Ironman competitions in a year, there is little room for error and the learning process becomes a very lengthy one at that.
Whether you are a runner, biker, swimmer, du-athlete, or triathlete, the quest for an edge and further knowledge is an ongoing process. We are opening Tri Spot Multi-Sports with these two key principles in mind. I have always said “Wouldn’t it be nice if there was a place where individuals with similar interests can gather together to discuss training, share race stories, purchase product, and be part of a hometown organization?” Add to the mix the ability to train at this location with some of the area’s top individuals and you’ve just created Tri Spot Multi-Sports.
Our business philosophy is to have a place that welcomes everyone from the first time jogger to the world-ranked triathlete in one location. Tri Spot Multi-Sports sets itself apart from the traditional local shop by welcoming individuals to come in to socialize in a club environment with a fireplace, flat screen TVs, and lounge. We not only welcome runners, bikers, and swimmers, but we encourage it. Where else can they shop for the industry’s highest quality products, train in an environment never seen before in the North East, and have access to some of the top performers for both individual coaching plans and hands-on training? “The icing on the cake”… is the offer of a sports massage to keep those who come in healthy and stress-free. We offer some of the best in massage to keep you going.
Finally, Tri Spot Multi-Sports has created a venue for individuals to train in a constant environment year-round. Here, athletes can compete in some of the greatest bike racing time trial series in the off-season to make next year’s season THAT MUCH BETTER. We stand by our products, and feel that we can accommodate the needs of any level of runner, biker, and swimmer.
Come see for yourself why Tri Spot Multi-Sports is not only Upstate’s swim, bike, and run shop, but a destination location for the entire North East and Great Lakes region. The products, services, and staff are second to none.
